I'm running docker in a vagrant virtual box with Ubuntu on a Mac logged in as root user and I'm trying to switch from devicemapper to overlay but I'm getting an error saying:
root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/# service docker stop docker stop/waiting root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/# rm -rf /var/lib/docker root@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:/# docker daemon -s overlay Command "daemon" is deprecated, and will be removed in Docker 1.16. Please run `dockerd` directly.

Please ensure kernel is new enough and has overlay support loaded.

http://www.projectatomic.io/blog/2015/06/notes-on-fedora-centos-and-docker-storage-drivers/ Unable to start Docker Service in Ubuntu 16.04
but they both do not work for me.
When I try following the documentation at:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/userguide/storagedriver/overlayfs-driver/
I get stuck at step 2 because the grep doesn't return any 'overlay' from lsmod:
